I purchased my home on 1 April and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Heath Hayes expressed confidence that it should be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Heath Hayes particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Heath Hayes is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
